Six college-kid are on their way to a holiday hotel, but somewhere along the way they take a wrong turning, and ended up in the little country town Diviny Fall by a cornfield.
The town seems nice at first, but when they try to drive from the town they receive hostility from a group of children.
The children destroy their car, and disappear into the cornfield. The six college-kids have to stay in the town, and find and old house that seem empty.
They break into the house and try to spend the night there. One of the children is then recognised as the brother of one the college kids who has joined the weird group. "Something with he who wakes behind the rose" she says.
Now they have to choose - either stay and try to rescue her brother, or leave.
They stay, of course, and the next day they waste the little time in exploring the corn farm. Her brother is found to be all right, however they also find out that these children are not to be messed with.
When they decide to leave they get into even more trouble, one of the college kids wants to join "The Children of the Corn".
